Tutorial Woes on OS X

I'm trying to run the Catalyst Tutorial on OS X. I installed VirtualBox and the tutorial according to the instructions on the shadowcat website. Everything seems to work, except there is no network connection, only the local loopback, lo 127.0.0.1.

Then I installed a Debian VM (same version as the Catalyst Tutorial), and that works fine, meaning the Bridged Adapter gives a network connection with an IP from my DHCP server.

Why do you need to install in a VM? Why not just install for OSX? You probably want your own perl (not system's perl) but that's easy to do with perlbrew.

I'm running Lion (10.7.1) so I upgraded Parallels to v.7. When you download and unarchive the vm archive, it won't have the parallels format, but Parallels will reformat CatalystTutorial.vmdk file and add it to it's list of VMs.
